"It was on that slender rioutous island which extends itself due east of New York- and where there are, among other natural curiosities, two unusual formations of land. Twenty miles from the city a pair of enormous eggs, identical in contour and separated only by a courtesy bay, jut out into the most domesticated body of salt water in the Western hemisphere, the great wet barnyard of Long Island Sound." -The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald
